while first trying to emerge kdabase, I encountered this bug, then I tried just to emerge xfree and saw it again. Here is the file it told me to include in my bug report: http://www.gbadvanzed.com/patchfailure.txt. I'm currently using kernel 2.6.4 on a Pentium Pro 200mhz. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge xfree 2. 3. Actual Results: the page http://www.gbadvanzed.com/problem.txt details the results of the emerge.
Created attachment 27622 [details] the file it told me to attach this is the file it told me to include in a bug report after it had happened. I hope it can be of some use.
cat /var/db/pkg/x11-base/xfree-[0-9]*/CFLAGS
also cat /var/db/pkg/sys-devel/patch-[0-9]*/CFLAGS please
CFLAGS: -march=pentiumpro -O2 -O2 -O2 -O2 -O2 -O2 -O2 -O2 -pipe no idea why it has -O2 to many times.... might be part of the problem? no idea..
and for the second request: -03 -funroll-loops -ffast-math -malign-double -mcpu=pentiumpro -march=pentiumpro -fomit-frame-pointer -fno-exceptions -DLINUX -D_XOPEN_SOURCE=500
OK, you really need to tone down your CFLAGS on sys-devel/patch, remerge it and try again.
Any news, Don?
Add more info if you've got it.
